Under structures, building slabs, concrete slabs, and pavements, scarify <br />and recompact top 12 inches of existing subgrade and each layer of <br />backfill or fill soil material at 98 percent of its respective maximum dry <br />density and within 2+/- % of its optimum moisture content. <br />2.
